enthoo pro hands down. I was in the same situation like you, I was deciding between these cases. I choose the enthoo since the h440 has poor airflow and the r5 is just...meh I don't know, it's a very good case but I just like the enthoo more. That said, if you like the looks and use good cooling for your components-h440, if you want noise isolation-r5, if you want great airflow-enthoo pro

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

thanks.. im still thinking about it.. i previously ordered a h440 but now its back ordered that's why im thinking of maybe changing.. I am looking for a case that looks good. but i guess now anything good is worth it..

If your main focus on the case are looks then it's really up to your preference which one you like the most.

currently I am switching the parts from my old build which are:

4770k

maximus vi hero

sapphire r9 trix

cxm 750

samsung evo 840

h80i cooler

I'd go for a more compact case for better airflow unless you're planning to doing a custom loop later. 

As for the Define R5, the less sturdiness it has over the R4 irks me.

The Enthoo Pro and H440 are both great. Keep in mind your loop and get whichever would fit your plans more.
